Flowering Garden at Sainte-Adresse (Jardin en Fleurs, à Sainte-Adresse), 1866 by Claude Monet

Flowering Garden at Sainte-Adresse, painted by Claude Monet in 1866 depicts a densely planted garden of standard rose trees and flowering shrubs enclosing the family house at the Norman seaside resort near Le Havre, its red, pink, and white blooms set against pale green shutters and a soft summer sky. Painted the year before Monet’s celebrated Salon debut, the canvas reflects the young painter’s early fascination with dense color and structured garden motifs, themes he would return to throughout his career. The work is now held by the Musée d’Orsay and displayed on deposit at the Musée Fabre in Montpellier.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1866.
